Does anyone know a good place around to get window tint done for a reasonable price? Where did everyone here get it done? Is anyone really good at doing it themselves on this site? Help me out! Thanks!

Right now I am looking at a company that sells computer cut tint online for 40 bucks a pop. It's the good charcoal stuff. None of that purple crap you see when you drive past 92 celicas. :lol: I'm emailing the company tonight to see what the prices would be for a group buy if anyone is interested. I'll fill everyone in on their response, but until then I still want to hear where everyone here got there tint done! Thanks!

Pitch black, is the tim that you are talking about the guy who steals the tint from his work and then does it at his house? "Tim the tint guy"? If it is this is the number I have been trying to get ahold of for a year now. I lost it when my phone took a swim. He does great work! Thanks, I'll look into it!

yeah, it is. thats really funny because when i went he said on the phone that he wanted cash, then he did the tint and i had to pay him outside in my car. it was really strange, but a awesome tint job.

I am not too worried, I don't have a gook tube on my car and I don't drive like a retard, nor, do I cruise the strip.

I thought the tint I had ordered was 20%, then, today I pulled it from the box and was like :shock: but, I don't think it will be that bad. The fronts wont be done and that is uauslly what they get pissy about, that, and when you smart back. I will tell them it was installed so the sun was not in my daughters eye's ;)

Very back has to be 50%, the sides can be whatever, the 2 front pass and driver 50%. I did the 2 side windows and all I gotta say is holy shit batman...I am going to get pulled over and then LMAO when they check the tint on the hatch and realize it is stock...

Iowa the 3 back windows can go as dark as you want but I think the pass/driver can't be tinted.

Edit, here is a pic of the side of the car

The back window has no tint and you can hardly see thru the back of the car, I think I might try to get some 50% tint to put on the back window just enough so if I where to put a sub back there no one could really tell it was there.
